Saosin - Along The Shadow (May 20, 2016) Album • Page 31

The pop songs just had at least semi enjoyable/memorable melodies for me. "Changing" is far and away the worst for me though, one of my least favourite songs ever.

 

"The Secret Meaning of Freedom" made me WOW, song is intense

 

Liking this more and more with each listen.

 

Had the same moment when Anthony liked a Instagram photo of the album I posted and commented "thanks so much!!!".

It's little personal touches that leave the best of impressions.

 

Really? They aren't scheduled to be released until June 17th?

 

Anthony posted on IG that he finished his next solo album today

 

I'm a big fan of ISOSG. the songs aren't as great as on S/T, but I still think it's a solid record front to back

 

I listened to this again today and I like it, but I really think it loses steam in the back half, particularly with Sore Distress and The Secret Meaning Of Freedom. My favorite is still Control And The Urge To Pray. I think it works well as a closer.

 

Sore Distress is one of the better tracks on the album. Control And The Urge To Pray works perfect as a closer. Along The Shadow Of Man works just as well though, too, I think.

 

yep. I had to do a double take since I have a few things coming from Kings Road....it shipped though so I'm happy.

 

I just wish they included those bonus tracks bc in my mind they are totally a part of this record

 

Included them on the vinyl? But yeah I agree, they mesh perfect with the rest of the album.

 

Any luck? I actually didn't think you would consider selling it, but I would love to buy it from you if you are interested.

 

It's actually buried somewhere I think, and I am pretty sure I don't have the case for it either... I'm about to be gone all weekend, but after the weekend if interested I can get it

 

Works for me, thanks man!

 

Vinyl came today! Thrice and Saosin.....it's like 2004 all over again!

 

So jealous you already have Saosin on vinyl. I'm guessing Amazon won't ship their copies out until June 15th or so.

 

@dead_fm would you mind sharing a few photos of the Saosin vinyl?

 

I don't see an option to share photos when posting from my phone...hmm. I posted one on my IG if you wanna check it out there. Its dead_fm.

 

You just turn your phone sideways and click on more options. Then click the paperclip to upload an attachment. I'll see if I can't find your instagram.

EDIT: I see it now. That clear looks amazing. Might have to cancel my preorder of the standard black and go with that clear. There is also an opaque orange variant available, but I'm not feeling the orange with the artwork at all.

 

Thanks man, here ya go!

 

Yeah, I felt like the clear was the better option. Glad I went with that vs the orange.

 

Just canceled my preorder for the black. That clear looks way too sharp. Thanks for sharing!

 

Absolutely man!

 

Sometimes I'm really into this record, other times it kind of drags on, which is strange. It's certainly a grower though and has some great material. Nice to hear Anthony sounding passionate, which was lacking just a bit on the last two Circa albums.
